Using Problem-based Learning Analytics to Investigate Individual and Collaborative Mathematics Learning in a Digital Environment Over Time
Building on prior NSF-supported research, this four-year project explores two hypotheses about improving middle grade students’ mathematical understanding through learning analytics in a digital, collaborative, problem-based curriculum: students’ individual and collaborative engagement and learning improve when they are given meaningful analytics about their developing ideas; using digital mathematics notebooks strengthens the connection between individual and collaborative mathematics engagement and learning throughout a full year of seventh-grade instruction.
